So the ongoing project has been restarted after a 3 month break... no comment... and i fired the car up again and it starts and runs and isnt hunting much... the problem is that it idles at 1500 when i fire it up and then it slowly (really SLOWLY, like 30 seconds) climbs up to 2000 and i dont know if it will climb higher (i'll post a comment when i let it run longer tonight). I know 99% of you all have dealt with this, so help me go from (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) to (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif)

check to make sure the vacuum hoses are connected correctly and check for vacuum leaks.
If the AAR valve is working it will start out with a 1500-1800 idle then after 5 minutes drop down to whatever you idle is set to.

To check to vacuum leaks plug the AAR valve hose so it can't leak and then you can look for other leaks.

Mine also idles faster after warmed up, and it's been a hair-pulling battle.

If the AAR valve is NOT working, it should fail closed, right? Meaning opposite behavior of what we are experiencing... It should open when cold, then close down as it warms up. It should feed extra air into the intake when it's cold, and therefor idle faster when cold and slow down as it warms up. So a bad AAR would mean when cold it might idle slower or need some gas pedal feathering until it warms up, but not idle faster when warm.

Fast idle usually means vacuum leak (or improperly connected vacuum hoses) or too-advanced timing. But I still haven't figured out how temperature plays into this yet, especially when it idles faster after warm.

The AAR typically fails open, though I have heard people say that theirs failed closed. The valve sits open most of the time (because we can only drive the car so many hours per day, right?). So when it freezes up, it tends to freeze open.

That could cause this sort of behavior.

Ok, good to know. But in my particular case, the behavior didn't change if I plugged the hose after the AAR valve. So I know I'm not getting faster idle after warm because of the AAR valve staying open. Still searching...

I vote this is the number one complaint, bad idle.

Usually the AAR is rusted stuck open, the idle is adjusted wrong and there are vacuum leaks. Its like chasing your tail!

Test the AAR to see if it opens and closes first. Then check the hoses to see if they are connected properly. Then test for vacuum leaks ie injector seals, hoses, TB gasket, worn out dizzy etc...

yeah, i started it up last night and it started running about 1500 to 2000 but after a minute and some revving, it calmed down to a 1100 idle. I also noticed that when i revved it, it went up quick and then came back down really slow. I've replaced all the vacuum hoses so i know they are all good... and where is this AAR valve?

The AAR is easy to remove and bench test with aligators and a battery charger. I had similar problems, 20 minute Geoff found incorrectly connected vac hoses and a bad AAR on my car. Eddy

Nice pic, Geoff! Where'd you get that one? I don't think I've see it before...

Also check the Decel Valve. It could be sticking open.

On my '75 2.0 it was right next to the MPS. Fastened by the same clamp in fact. Now it's gone.

Spilled Spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone.

I digress.

The MPS and decel valve are mounted under the battery tray. Chuck the decel valve and plug the hoses....


Use the 73 2.0l pic for hose layout as its a real Factory pic!

Dave,

Do you have the whereabouts of a "real" factory picture of all the vaccum hoses for a stock fuel injected 75 2.0?

i gotta fix my kerplunk this weekend.

Nope!

I do, however, know where there are some line-drawings (which can occasionally show things clearer than photos) that have the 73-74 2.0 hose locations. The fuel hose routing is slightly different on the 75-76 cars, of course... You could use the 75 1.8 diagram for the fuel hose routing, I suppose.
